Great comments so far guys. I'm not sure what it is about hydro that makes me reluctant. Something about a large tub of liquid in the room I'm using is one thing. If it was another place it may not be an issue. Also, I just started a line of liquid organic nutes that I'd like to continue using. Would I be able to do that or are there issues and specific product for it? I have to admit, even though I know that DWC and stuff is simple and basic, I've never looked into in because I've had no interest until now.
Another thing that's keeping me from going hydro is the 75+ bricks of coir I have, as well as the big ass 5 gallon fabric pots I got from billcollector. Coir use is not an issue for me so packing these pots full is no problem. I didn't say the sell to water would be easy.
Either way, it would definitely have to be a scrog for me, and now that I have a cool tube I could do a vertical scrog in at least one tent. I'm not into a mother plant. I wouldn't want to limit myself to a strain or two so seed it would have to be.
Again, this isn't something I'm jumping on and have to do, it's just something I've been considering and the opportunity came to throw it out there. So far, great exchange of info happening so thanks.
